Couple guilty of plotting huge London terror attack

An aspiring suicide bomber and his secret wife have been found guilty of planning a massive terror attack on London to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the July 7 atrocity.

Going by the name Silent Bomber, Islamic extremist Mohammed Rehman, 25, took to Twitter in May asking for suggestions on which target to choose – Westfield shopping centre or the Tube.

With money from his wife Sana Ahmed Khan, 24, he stockpiled the chemicals needed to make a huge bomb at his family home in Reading and even filmed himself setting off a small explosion in his back garden.

The prosecution said Rehman was just days away from completing the device which would have caused multiple casualties in the capital if he had not been stopped by anti-terror police.

Following a trial at the Old Bailey, the couple were found guilty of preparing an act of terrorism around May 28 this year.

Rehman was also convicted of possessing an article for terrorist purposes.
